Wow its been a long time since we've written anything! Things are going great, we've sold most of our goat kids and ewe lambs. Our little blind goat has been growing well on HunnyBunny milk. Unfortunately its almost time to say goodbye to him and I'm pretending I don't know what's going to happen to him. Milk production has been down with the hot weather. Bunny has a knee that is a little swollen and not getting better on her own so I think we will start giving her antibiotics and let her milk dry up. Another month and it will be time to breed them again and no one wants to drink the milk when they are around Bud. I'll keep milking Hunny for a while yet though. I tried making some cheese, it turned out good but I have a hard time aging it. I have cheese wax but dipping it is difficult without the proper equipment and painting it on just didn't give it a good enough coat and it got moldy. The chickens loved it though!
We found a tiny little egg 3 days ago and suspect it was one of the young buff pullets. They are 4 months old now so we're expecting eggs soon. We haven't seen another little one yet but we're pretty sure it was her. We're still waiting for that first blue/green egg!
Its green bean season. I've been canning this year and I was a little scared of my pressure canner at first but it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. It has a pressure gage so I'm not too worried about blowing anything up. I've canned strawberry jam, mint jelly and green beans. So far so good! I'm anxious to open a can of green beans and see how they taste but after all the hard work I did to seal up those jars I just hate to open one so soon!
